CU 2011 recruiting class analysis: K.T. Tuumalo

COACH JON EMBREE SAYS: “Here’s another kid that can run. He has great football instincts. He’s very physical. He’s going to have a great career for us.”

WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW: Punahou High is the alma mater of President Barack Obama.

MY TAKE: Embree likes to tell the story about how he almost tried to talk assistant coach Brian Cabral from going after this prospect because Tuumalo had given an oral commitment to Boise State and there wasn’t much time to change his mind. If Embree and Cabral are excited about this get, that’s good enough for me.
